What is home sharing? Home sharing is when a homeowner offers living accommodations to a home sharer in exchange for rent and/or household assistance.

Why are so many choosing home sharing? The homeowner gets money to help pay for rent, utilities, or other expenses while the home sharer is provided with affordable housing. Other benefits to home sharing for both parties include companionship, a sense of security, and mutual support.
